[sane-devel] Brother: does not scan

[AugustQ]

Hi Ulf,


did you mean this thread:
https://www.mail-archive.com/sane-devel@alioth-lists.debian.net/msg01073.html


In one of your postings you mentioned this site:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/sane_Troubleshooting#Brother


Following this advice I did:

 2001  ls -l /usr/lib64/libbr*
 2002  ls -l /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
 2003  sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/59-udev-local.rules
 2004  cat /etc/udev/rules.d/59-udev-local.rules
 2005  sudo ln -sfr /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-brother*
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane
 2006  sudo service udev restart
 2007  simple-scan

simple-scan starts and detects my Brother DCP-7010. Starting the
scan-process a paer appears on the screens with circles moving around
but then the message appears: could not connect to scanner.


No solution, sorry.
